Title: Analyze a biotechnological innovation.
Course: Biotechnology Applications in Agriculture (18308-III) > Section: Applying Biotechnology in Agriculture

Analysis should include the effects of biotechnological innovations on the AFNR industries and could include

- alternative fuel sources
- new tools and drugs for managing animal and/or plant health
- transgenic organisms in biomanufacturing.

Analysis should also include biotechnical innovations that result in

- increased crop yields through plant modifications that help reduce pesticide and water use and/or improve tolerance to climatic factors
- improved food nutrient content and preservation techniques
- improved detection and management of pollution.

Process/Skill Questions:

- How has plant biotechnology affected the agriculture industry?
- How have plant biotechnology products been used in the AFNR industry, in environmental applications, and in the medical field?
- How have animal biotechnology products been used in AFNR, in the technology industry, in environmental applications, and in the medical field?
